ROTHSCHILD (WAOW) -

Many people celebrated Easter by attending local church services.

The pews were full at St. Mark Catholic Parish in Rothschild. The church held two Easter services Sunday morning and leaders said this year, they focused their message on the universal themes of hope and joy.

"It's an ongoing, dynamic event and it's always good to see that and encourage that to happen in people's lives," said Father, Allan Slowiak.
